Incredible Synchronicity, Miracles & Magic

“The universe truly works in miraculous ways, when you pursue your destined path with pure heart and abandon.”

It seems
fitting that my first post should celebrate the incredible guidance and
synchronicity that led to this blog being called Spiritual Sundays.

I knew that
my authentic self was calling. I felt invisible and unheard. I often got
flashes of blue when I meditated – the colour of the throat chakra – I needed
to find my voice. I had taken baby steps towards vocalising my truest self and
with the final push of apocalyptic doom I knew I had to step up to my spiritual
path.

I had a sense
that my purpose in life was to write. I wrote poetry since I was in my early teens;
actually this got me through some of the worst times in my life. But this was always
a private affair, I never shared this part of myself with others, I couldn’t make
myself vulnerable like that. I had more than a few blocks when I came to
voicing myself. Firstly, I am dyslexic, so I grew up having my written work
torn to shreds. Secondly many negative relationships and experiences had left
me feeling like my opinions, emotions and perception were invalid. What if I
was invalidated again? Could my ego sustain another blow? Of course now I
realise that validation comes from within & that we should welcome anything
that challenges our ego, as it’s key to growth.

The final block came from wanting hide from the world; protect my inner child and my authentic self. I learnt early in life by not revealing my full self, I was somewhat protected. Others could only hurt the mask, the fake me, the ego-fabricated wall of impenetrability, which kept me safe but at the same time entirely isolated. Sort of how we are all feeling now I guess. By the time I broke down that wall, I forgot who I was, lost myself completely.

“Never start believing, you are who you pretend to be”

Let’s forward
track to the ways in which the Universe/God/Mother Earth helped me on my
journey of setting up this website.

I made the decision
to write a blog. I set the intention. I prayed and meditated asking out loud “What
should I call this new venture?” Instantly the name ‘Spiritual Sundays’ popped
into my head. This name didn’t feel like my idea, I had an instant distaste for
it. I had formed negative associations between the word Sunday, going to church
and thus organised Religion. To me Religion is a private matter, and I had a
natural distrust for all establishments and organisations including religious ones.
I recognised however that this response had come from fear. My spiritual journey
thus so far had taught me to relinquish fear, the need for control and live in
faith and so I did.

I searched
for the domain Spiritualsundays.com and found a holding page from the domain registrar,
complete with spammy ads. Even though
the website had been removed, I managed to find the snippet of the last post,
from just a week earlier. In that post, Charlotte (the owner of the blog)
offered the domain to her readers as she intended to remove the website. The
domain had only just expired,
after being in Charlotte’s ownership for more than 6 years. As I worked in
online marketing, I knew that finding a good domain without a hefty fee was
pretty miraculous, and the fact that it had just expired could only be divine
timing.

I contacted
Charlotte and we shared Facebook profiles. Charlotte pointed out that she felt
our spiritual views were very different, making me feel like we hit a
roadblock. Charlotte is an Evangelistic Christian, which from my understanding
is fairly strict and traditional in approach. Whilst I am sort of a mishmash
of; liberalism, modern spiritually and laissez faire Christianity. But
honestly, I didn’t see much distinction between my own and Charlotte’s beliefs,
to me much of the differences where a matter of constructs rather than core
belief system.

After
all Love is Love.

So with complete faith I replied to Charlotte with my truth and low and behold, we found common ground & connection.

Here’s
the really magical part. The logo on Charlotte’s blog depicted two robins. This
may not seem relevant, but for some weeks in the lead up to creating the blog,
I had been visited by a robin. Every morning she would sit on a wall opposite
my kitchen window and stare at me until I noticed her. As soon as she caught my
gaze, she would fly away.

Robins
have significant meaning across many religious and spiritual movements. In
Christianity the Robins Red chest symbolises the blood of Christ, which in turn
symbolises rebirth. Universally in spirituality, the Robin symbolises: transformation,
growth, renewal, passion, change, and power. How very relevant to this leap of faith I was
taking!

So here’s the really good part . . . I set up the blog on Mother’s Day in England, (the 22nd March). On this day my robin returned with another robin and starting work on building a nest in my garden, less than a metre from where I sit to eat each evening. Two robins had appeared in my life, just like on Charlotte’s logo on her blog & on Mothering Sunday as if mother earth herself was with me. I truly felt blessed at this moment & certain I was on the right path.

Hi Maria,
I still believe there are quite a few differences in our view of God, but I’m glad you were able to start this blog. I hope it helps many find their way to the true God of the universe, and His son, Jesus. Of course I believe in the Trinity which means Jesus if God in the sense that He is part of that Trinity. I know you are searching and have been searching for the truth for a very long time. The Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.
Blessings as you share your pathway.
Charlotte
